Fig. 3: Synteny of genes flanking CYS in mite and 11 lepidopteran chromosomes.

From: Horizontally acquired cysteine synthase genes undergo functional divergence in lepidopteran herbivores

Fig. 3

Synteny was analyzed using previously published genome sequences from the NCBI database in (A) 10 lepidopteran insects, (B) P. rapae, and (C) mite. Genes and their positions are not drawn to scale and shown as the series of colored arrows. Homologs are represented by the same color, and genes with no homolog were indicated by white arrows. Arrows point in the sense direction of the gene. Insect CYSs are placed in the middle and colored in red.
